Overview
According to an estimate the mean cost of diagnosing and managing a patient with urinary tract infection including pyelonephritis is more than 229 pounds per year. Hyaluronan therapy given long term cuts down the cost of multiple pretreatments as it prevents recurrence of a Urinary tract infection.[1][2]
Cost Effectiveness of therapies
- Hyaluronan is very cost effective in the long run when compared with all alternative treatments, despite initial high costs.[1]
- Amoxicillin is almost two times cheaper than Aminoglycosides when used in the treatment of uncomplicated Cystitis and pyelonephritis.[2]
- First and Second generation Cephalosporins are considered to be cost effective in treating lower urinary tract infections empirically.[3]
- The use of Fluoroquinolone and nitrofurantoin is not cost effective.[4]
